An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-6941 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2015.5; fixed in 2015.5.6, 2015.8.1\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2015.5; fixed in 2015.5.6\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2015.5; fixed in 2015.5.6\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2015.8; fixed in 2015.8.1\n- salt (PyPI): affected from 2015.8; fixed in 2015.8.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6941/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6941/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6941","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6941/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6941","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cxm4-7qcw-267r","PYSEC-2017-71","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-6941"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Salt configuration management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with access to debug logs can read leaked password information from Salt's useradd, cloud, and Linode drivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"salt_2015","vendor":"saltstack"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-534","name":"DEPRECATED: Information Exposure Through Debug Log Files"}],"description":"win_useradd, salt-cloud and the Linode driver in salt 2015.5.x before 2015.5.6, and 2015.8.x before 2015.8.1 leak password information in debug logs.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"salt password information leaked in debug logs","id":"CVE-2015-6941","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2015"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6942"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.6","2015.8.1"],"introduced":["2015.5","2015.8"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"PYSEC-2017-71"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.6"],"introduced":["2015.5"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-cxm4-7qcw-267r"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.5.6"],"introduced":["2015.5"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-cxm4-7qcw-267r"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.8.1"],"introduced":["2015.8"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-cxm4-7qcw-267r"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2015.8.1"],"introduced":["2015.8"],"last_affected":[],"package":"salt","purl":"pkg:pypi/salt","source":"GHSA-cxm4-7qcw-267r"}],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6940"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-09","related":[{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"salt leaks git usernames and passwords to the log","id":"CVE-2015-6918","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers with access to debug logs can read leaked password information from Salt's useradd, cloud, and Linode drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6941/"}
